Yeah, I thought that the update negated the effectes of damage up, too. I know better by now, though. :)there's no reason for eliters not to use damage up.

I find the issue with Ink Mines is that weapons that have them will drop them as they run away to keep you from following them. If you know the weapons you are hunting down has Ink Mines, you can avoid them without Bomb Sniffer because they will almost 100% drop them in your path as they run away.And me with Ink Mines in Tower Control too. Not sure how to stop an Ink Mine from blowing me up once I see it besides activating it though, and I can't make it clear to my teammates just what I'm doing. I'd imagine a player who uses Ink Mines in Tower Control who pays attention to what gear other people are using may think twice if they see someone on the opposing team has Bomb Sniffer though.
Well, in Ranked, at least. In Turf War, it'd kick in on the last 16.67% of the match and will activate in every match (assuming you're not disconnected by then).
Huh, is that how people use them? I use them namely for two things: As a barrier in front of myself (because I'd be unaffected by the ensuing explosion) and to drop if I know I'm about to get splatted. I should watch out for the behavior you describe then. (I rarely get splatted by Ink Mines if it isn't Tower Control though. If it's Tower Control, however, it can get hellish, especially if there is a teammate or two or three covering the glowing circle that'd indicate an Ink Mine is there or we're playing on stages like Camp Triggerfish or Arowana Mall where there are moments where you can't easily leave the tower.)I find the issue with Ink Mines is that weapons that have them will drop them as they run away to keep you from following them.

Usually, I just make sure the top of the tower is well inked. If you put your own ink on it, you can usually trigger any explosions and wait until they go off. Plus, it protects you from being vulnerable when stepping on.And me with Ink Mines in Tower Control too.

While I don't have much experience in Tower Control with the Heavy Splatling, inking Turf from afar (or even over obstacles) is usually one of the things it can do best (which is great since it can't splat that well from that range o_O)Plus, some weapons (Chargers, Splatlings, low range Rollers) have trouble inking the tower from afar, so you would have to splat all the enemies first.
Are you kidding? It was never used at all much until rainmaker hit. (And then people realized you can do it for tower control too).I've never actually tried the wail, really because it seems overused and I like to be a special snowflake, I mean should I try it? I've debated on it ALOT.
